No two pieces are identical, as the wood's inherent characteristics dictate its final form. Some display pronounced knots or intriguing twists and burls, while others feature delicate streaks or elegant swirls. These unique elements lend a sense of authenticity and depth, turning each item into an artistic masterpiece.
winter in the mountains
One of my favorite hikes was to St. Marys Glacier. It was my dogs 6th birthday and we decided to spend the day, just the two of us, in the wilderness. The bright blue sky could be seen reflecting in the water where she took a drink. We decided to take the lengthy walk all the way up the white snowy glacier that fed into the lake. Greys and browns peppered the entire treck- from both the rocks and trees .

Looking west..
Early morning drives in the early spring are filled with beautiful colors in the mountains. The gold tones reflecting in the snow from the sun. The grey toned earth speckled with sprouting spring greens. Sometimes I feel like I am living in a dream.

Early one winter morning we drove back home to Fort Collins from Breckenridge. I will never forget that image. The beautiful Rocky Mountain snow caps were catching the suns morning rays and shining bright whites and sparkling golds off the grey toned earth. This color palette has been a reoccurring theme in my art since that day in 2021
Spring colors in the mountains of Colorado
Spring is always a surprise in Colorado. Will there be snow? Will there be luscious green new growth fed by all of the snowmelt? Growing up on the East Coast, I was very used to the unpredictability that spring could bring. But it’s a little different here. You can almost always count on the sun being out to illuminate the beautiful colors.

Growing up on the East Coast, you’re surrounded by gray tones in the winter. The trees, the skies, and the plants - all different hues of gray. The fresh snow adds a beautiful touch of brightness. Blue skies are always few and far between in the winter, but we always looked forward to them!
moons
The moon is a feminine symbol, universally representing the rhythm of time as it embodies the cycle.
Ever since I was a child, I've always had a fascination with space. Checking out the stars and moon through a telescope in my grandparents kitchen was always favorite past time. I once asked my them "why is the moon hairy" and come to find out- it wasn't hairy, there was just a willow tree branch hanging in view of the lens.
custom cremation pieces
Saying goodbye to a family member & pet is one of the hardest journeys we take in life. I was first asked to make one of these for a family members dog. This dog was actually the mother to our dog, Nuala. I was so honored to make that piece. I feel honored to make this for all of my customers. Necklaces and companion figures are the perfect way to memorialize your loved one.
